Surya Kumar Yadav did not have a great start to this year but in the last six matches he has scored 50, 53, 6, 31, 47 and 3 and has been pretty consistent. We expect Yadav to have a great outing in this series especially after he has been chosen to lead the side in the T20 format. We believe Yadav would score well in the upcoming game.

Sri Lanka vs India Betting Odds
India to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka
India and Sri Lanka go head to head in a three game bilateral series for the first time since Jan 2023 where India won the series 2-1 at home. Looking at the odds this seems like a straightforward tie for the visitors who have been dominant in the T20 format thus far. On the other hand Sri Lanka had a disappointing World Cup heading into this series as they were knocked out in the group stages. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact in two of the three matches they conceded a bigger opening stand. Indian openers had a decent outing against Zimbabwe as in four of the five matches they had a better opening stand which makes us believe India would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
